WEBVTT THAT CAN BE TIME CONSUMING. AMY COVENO, WMUR NEWS 9. A BRAZEN ROBBER HITS A DUNKIN' DONUTS IN BEDFORD AND POLICE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO VERY FAR TO GET TO THE SCENE. ADAM SEXTON LIVE TONIGHT IN BEDFORD TO EXPLAIN. ADAM? POLICE HEADQUARTERS IS RIGHT OVER THERE AND IT MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE FOOL HEARTY TO TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS SO CLOSE TO THE VERY PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO TRY AND CATCH YOU, BUT INVESTIGATORS SAY IN THIS CASE THE SUSPECT MAY HAVE TARGETED THE STORE ON PURPOSE, ARMED WITH A GUN, AND SOME INSIDER KNOWLEDGE. THIS MAN STOLE $6,000 FROM A DUNKIN' DONUTS, THE CRIME UNFOLDING PRACTICALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BEDFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT. VERY BRAZEN. AGAIN, A LOT OF POLICE TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THE BEDFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT, A LOT OF PUBLIC SAFETY TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THE AREA. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SUSPECT BRANDISHING A HANDGUN APPROACHED AN EMPLOYEE HAD THE PARKING LOT, SHE WAS ON THE WAY TO THE BANK TO MAKE A DETOES AND IT HAD THE PROCEEDS A BUSY MORNING IN HER PURSE. THE SUSPECT GRABBED IT AND RAN. IT SEEM AS WHO THE SUSPECT IS FAMILIAR WITH THEIR BANKING PROCEDURES. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER TO BE ABLE TO TIME IT WELL ENOUGH SO THAT WHEN AN EMPLOYEE IS LEAVING THE ESTABLISHMENT WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY, CERTAINLY BEARS INTEREST AND CERTAINLY BEARS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. BECAUSE THE SUSPECT INITIALLY FLED ON FOOT, POLICE THOUGHT HE MIGHT STILL BE ON THE RUN AND LOCKED DOWN A NEARBY SCHOOL AND APARTMENTS. BUT HE HAD A CAR PARKED AROUND THE CORNER AND MADE A CLEAN GET AWAY BEFORE OFFICERS COULD RESPOND. LOCALS ARE IN DISBELIEF THAT ANY CRIMINAL WOULD TARGET A BUSINESS SO CLOSE TO A POLICE STATION. NOT THE BRIGHTEST BULBS ON THE TREE. THEY ARE HOPING THIS MAN IS IDENTIFY THROUGH THESE IMAGES AND CAUGHT. OF COURSE, OF COURSE, AND I HOPE HE GETS PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. INVESTIGATORS SAY IF YOU RECOGNIZE OR SEE THIS MAN, DO NOT APPROACH HIM. JUST CALL 911. I DID SPEAK TO ONE WITNESS THIS AFTERNOON WHO DID NOT WANT TO GO ON CAMERA. SHE SAID ONLY THAT THE SUSPECT
